In this tutorial we will learn how to create a steel wristwatch using Corel Draw. The basic technique used in this tutorial is the x, y coordinates position. The x, y coordinates position is very important to obtain symmetrical results. We will also use some gradients to create the steel effect. We'll work with simple technique to achieve great results.

Step 1

Open a new document. On the toolbar, change Units to pixels. Create a 1001px circle using the Ellipse Tool (F7). Put the x, y coordinates position at (0, 0).

Make sure all this toolbars have been checked.

Fill the circle with a Linear Gradient using the Fountain Fill Dialog (F11). Change the Angle to -90°, and the Edge pad to 9%. Then, add one slider in the Gradient Slider. Set the color and position, Start Point at white, Added slider at 30% black; Position at 92%, and End Point at 40% black.

Step 2

Duplicate the circle using copy and paste. I suggest you do not use Command + D (Duplicate command). This is because we need the object position to remain at 0, 0. Change the circle size to 941px. Clear the Outline Color. Now fill the object with a Linear Gradient using the Fountain Fill Dialog (F11), change the Edge pad to 22%. Add a slider in the Gradient Slider. Now set the color and position, Start point at 20% black, Added slider at 70% black; position at 90%, and End point at 10% black.

Step 3

Duplicate the outer circle. Change the size to 921px, then fill with a Linear Gradient using the Fountain Fill Dialog (F11). Change the Edge pad to 22%. Add two sliders in the Gradient Slider. Set the color and position, Start point at white, First slider at 10% black; position at 8%, Second slider at 70% black; position at 90%, and End point at 10% black.

Step 4

Duplicate the outer circle again. Change the size to 750px. Then fill it with a Linear Gradient using the Fountain Fill Dialog (F11). Change the Edge pad to 4%, then add three sliders. Set the color and position, Start point at white, First slider at 10% black; position at 37%, Second slider at 80% black; position at 50%, Third slider at 20% black; position at 76%, End point at 10% black. Open the Outline Color and change its thickness to 1 pt and fill it with a black color.

Step 5

Duplicate the latest circle, change the size to 720px, and fill it with a black color.

Step 6

Duplicate the latest circle, change the size to 700px, and replace the Outline Color with a white color.

Step 7

Use the Pen Tool to draw a vertical line in the middle of the circle. Then change the outline thickness to 1 pt, and fill it with a white color.

Duplicate the line, then rotate to 6°.

Repeat it again and again, but now rotate each line to 12°, 18°, 24°, 30°, 36°, 42°, 48°, 54°, 60°, 66°, 72°, 78°, 84°, and 90°. The result should look like that shown below.

Step 8

Select all lines, then duplicate them. Flip horizontally by clicking on Mirror. Delete the lines at 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 150°.

Step 9

Duplicate the latest circle and change the size to 650px.

Step 10

Create a 20px circle, put the coordinate position at 0, 338. Fill with cyan color, then remove the Outline Color. Duplicate the circle, put the coordinate position at 0, -338. Fill with white color.

Now select both of them. Duplicate, then rotate to 90°. Change the cyan circle to a white color.

Duplicate again, rotate to 30°, then change the size to 15px. Do the same, now rotate to 60°, 120°, and 150°.
